Where starch can be used: 3 ways to use in everyday life

SSPDaily has prepared life hacks for using starch. Learn about easy-to-follow ways to optimize its use in everyday tasks.

Create a non-stick surface on the iron

Apply starch to a sheet of wax paper, let it dry, and then run an iron over it. This will transfer to the iron, forming a non-stick surface that prevents residue from sticking to your clothes. This will keep both the iron and your clothes clean.

Untangling knots

Spreading a small amount of starch on the knotted area will make it easier to gently untie the knot. This is especially useful for delicate fabrics such as silk or lace, where conventional methods of untangling can cause damage.

Paper recovery

A simple technique involves spraying a thin layer of starch onto the paper and then pressing it down with a warm iron. The starch helps to soften the paper fibers, allowing them to regain their original shape and smoothness. This approach is useful for preserving important documents or revitalizing antique paper products without further deterioration.
